Words from Robin "Can we tie dye everything and live like hippies?" "Uh ya, Robin we kind of do!"

Rainbow Tie dye for our Girl Scout Zoo overnight.

Nature find by Owl.

My favorite place to be.

The start of my garden, unfortunately it is all DEAD now. I think I planted in a bad spot I need to get my soil tested.

Read aloud outside in the hammock

Project on canvas the littles did last year, finally up on the wall. Each child did their own quarter of the sun with provided paints and scrap book paper. They had some rules but each expressed their own individuality in each section. This will be the focal point on the kitchen wall that I am doing a college gallery on.

We were reading Little House of the Prairie and Pa was talking about fire building so I thought what a great time this would be to teach my children how to build their very own fire. I saw a post on Pinterest a awhile back about making small fairy size fires so thats just what we did.

Each child was sent out site to find Fuel, Tnder, rocks and a good dirt area to build the fire at.
